5. Action Painting
Action painting is a branch of abstract expressionism that highlights the physical act of painting as much as the result. Artists used brushes, sticks, or even their hands to splash, drip, and smear paint across the canvas.
The energy of the artist is captured in every stroke. The final painting becomes a record of movement, rhythm, and spontaneity. This style is raw and emotional, reflecting freedom from traditional techniques.
It is one of the most recognizable forms of abstract art and remains popular for its boldness and intensity.
